Chapter 83: He's just been promoted to supervisor, and now he's going to be promoted to minister?
In the conference room.
Minister Huang looked at Shen Qingyue, his face filled with shock and anger.
He asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you mean by this?"
"Literally."
Shen Qingyue said coldly, "As long as you are willing to take responsibility for this matter, I can let the others off the hook."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Minister Huang didn't respond, saying, "Just because I chose them? But how would I have known they would do this?"
Mr. Shen, you were the one who asked me to select people, and I only looked at their business capabilities. I didn't have any personal biases, and the people I selected for you were all key members of the technical department!
"If that's the case, then since I recommended Chen Mo, shouldn't his credit for this be attributed to me as well?"
"Yeah?"
Shen Qingyue sneered and said, "Could it be that he was just someone you originally planned to choose as a scapegoat?"
But I never expected that not only would they be so skilled, but they'd also be incredibly intelligent, causing you to make things worse.
"Mr. Shen, there's no point in saying that."
Although Minister Huang is a minister, he is still a veteran who has helped the company get started, and his seniority is undeniable.
So if things really escalate at this point, he might not necessarily be afraid of Shen Qingyue.
"If you feel that this project has made you lose face at the company and you want to find someone to take your anger out on, that's fine."
Minister Huang said, "Although I am not in charge of anything, I still hold a title. If we have to consider it, it is a joint management responsibility. I can accept the company's punishment."
"Mr. Shen, isn't it a bit much to ask me to resign on my own?"
"Letting you resign voluntarily is already considered a lenient gesture from the company."
Shen Qingyue stared at him and said coldly, "You know perfectly well what you've done."
"Wang Zhen from Huixin Technology, is he a distant relative of yours?"
Upon hearing Wang Zhen's name, Minister Huang's expression changed.
But he quickly calmed down.
"So what if I am? I have so many relatives, am I supposed to be held responsible for every single one of their crimes?"
""
"If they're just relatives, then of course it doesn't count."
Shen Qingyue took a document from the drawer and threw it on the table: "But the registered capital of Huixin Technology under Wang Zhen's name was transferred from your account. How do you explain that?"
This information was obtained by Shen Qingyue overnight after Chen Mo informed her about Wang Zhen.
"!!!"
Minister Huang's pupils contracted, and he reached out to take the document, but Shen Qingyue had already pulled it back.
"Do you want me to continue?"
Shen Qingyue looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth.
"You took advantage of your position to plant people in the project team, steal company secrets, and then sold them to competitors at a low price through shell companies, profiting from it."
Do I need to read these to you one by one?
'
Minister Huang's face turned ashen, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but at that moment he couldn't utter a single word.
Because everything Shen Qingyue said was true.
There is also evidence.
He thought he had done it very discreetly, but he never expected that he had already been thoroughly investigated.
"Mr. Shen, I—"
Minister Huang, his initial confidence gone, spoke with difficulty, his voice dry: "I've worked for the company for so many years, I may not have made any great contributions, but I've certainly put in a lot of hard work. Can't you—show some leniency?"
"Give them a break?"
Shen Qingyue sneered, "Minister Huang, if Chen Mo hadn't taken precautions beforehand, the project would have fallen through. How much money would the company have lost? What would have happened to my reputation? Have you thought about these things?"
Minister Huang lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
"Considering your many years of dedication to the company, I can let you off the hook and not pursue legal action against you."
Shen Qingyue said, "But you must resign today. That's the bottom line."
Minister Huang clenched his fists, his eyes losing their previous light.
He knew he had no way out.
After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head, attempting a final act of resistance.
He gritted his teeth and said, "President Shen, firing me isn't something you can decide on your own, is it? The chairman and the other vice presidents need to agree."
Shen Qingyue looked at him and suddenly smiled.
That smile held nothing but mockery.
"Minister Huang, why do you think I dared to do this?"
She picked up the phone on the table, put it on speakerphone, and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly, and a deep male voice came through: "Qingyue, what's up?"
The other party was Shen Qingyue's father, the chairman of the company.
Minister Huang's expression changed.
"Dad, I've already reported on Minister Huang's matter to you."
Shen Qingyue said, word by word, "He is now questioning the company's decision, saying that it requires your and the other vice presidents' approval."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, then someone said, "Give him the phone."
Shen Qingyue pushed the phone over.
Minister Huang picked up the microphone with trembling hands, his voice hoarse: "Chairman... Chairman—"
"Old Huang."
The chairman's voice was calm but carried an air of authority as he said, "You've been with the company for so many years, and there are some things I don't want to say that are too harsh."
Qingyue's decision is my decision. I've already spoken to the other vice presidents, and they have no objections.
So, considering our years of friendship, it's best for everyone to submit your resignation and leave gracefully.
After the chairman finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.
Hearing the busy tone coming from the microphone, Minister Huang stood there, stunned, his face ashen.
The last glimmer of hope has been extinguished.
Shen Qingyue put away her phone, looked at him, and asked, "Now, do you have anything else to say?"
Minister Huang raised his head, looking at Shen Qingyue with a complicated expression, and then at Chen Mo beside him.
Finally, he gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"I—I admit defeat."
He stood up and walked unsteadily toward the door.
As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Chen Mo, and said, "I underestimated you; you're quite cunning."
He said this with resentment and bitterness in his voice.
Actually, he was even more furious with the person who didn't speak up to protect him!
"I'm just trying to protect myself."
Chen Mo looked at him calmly and said, "I also thought before that you were genuinely good to me."
"Hmph, you're just a rat's tail juice."
Minister Huang glanced at him again, then turned and left.
Everyone else left one after another, the meeting room door closed, and only Shen Qingyue and Chen Mo remained in the room.
Shen Qingyue leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
This matter is finally over.
"Chen Mo."
She looked at Chen Mo, her gaze softening, and smiled, "Thanks to you this time."
"Of course."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Actually, I was also trying to save myself."
"Um."
Shen Qingyue nodded and said nothing more.
Some things don't need to be said too much; it's enough that we both understand each other's hearts.
"Next, the technology department will be reorganized. With so many people leaving at once, we will need to recruit new staff."
She said, "I want you to be in charge of this. What do you think?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "I have no problem. I'll do whatever the leader asks."
"it is good."
Shen Qingyue stood up and said, "Then go and make preparations. There will be a meeting at three o'clock this afternoon, and I will announce the decision."
"Um.
""
Chen Mo got up and left the office.
Back at her workstation, Wang Qing immediately leaned over and whispered, "Chen Mo, you found all these moles? You're amazing!"
"So-so."
Chen Mo laughed and said, "I also want to congratulate you. Now that there are fewer people and more money, your bonus will double."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qing exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! It's just that so many key technical personnel have left the technical department at once—"
"A restructuring is definitely necessary."
Chen Mo said, "We'll need to recruit a new batch of people and also promote some new ones."
"Yeah?"
Wang Qing quickly asked, "Who are they mentioning? You and President Shen are so close, do you even know that? And who else is in charge of this matter?"
She couldn't help but think of herself.
Will I take this opportunity to speak up?
A promotion and a raise are everyone's wish.
"How would I know?"
Chen Mo didn't tell her it would be him, because the meeting hadn't started yet and Shen Qingyue hadn't made the announcement.
"President Shen has a meeting this afternoon, we'll find out then."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Wang Qing didn't press him further, but her eyes were full of expectation.
At 3 p.m., the entire technical department gathered in the large conference room.
Shen Qingyue sat in the main seat, and Chen Mo sat next to her.
Minister Huang did not come.
Everyone had a vague idea of what was going on, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat oppressive.
"Everyone's here, let's begin."
Shen Qingyue got straight to the point, saying directly, "I have already investigated and clarified the matter of the project leak."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Li, Xu, Wei, and Liu from the technical department have all been fired by the company."
Shen Qingyue called out names one by one, her voice icy: "And Minister Huang, because of his poor personnel management, he resigned on his own initiative and will bear the main responsibility for this accident."
Minister Huang was also fired?
Although everyone had long suspected that he was involved in this matter, they were still shocked to hear Shen Qingyue announce it in person.
After all, Minister Huang is a senior member of the company, holding a high position and wielding great power. Could he just open fire on someone's whim?
Shen Qingyue's methods are too swift and decisive, aren't they?
As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room erupted in uproar.
Manager Li and Manager Zhang exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of disbelief.
They thought Minister Huang was General Shen's right-hand man and Chen Mo's backer, but it turned out he was a treacherous minister hiding within the enemy's ranks.
But now that the technology department has suddenly lost so many technical talents, the company cannot simply do nothing to deal with the follow-up issues.
In particular, Minister Huang's departure left his position vacant all at once.
Both Manager Zhang and Manager Li were starting to get restless.
Based on their seniority, both of them have the opportunity to advance further!
Everyone else shared Wang Qing's feelings and had some expectations.
Therefore, everyone looked at Shen Qingyue, waiting for her next instructions.
"The technology department will be restructured next."
Ignoring everyone's shock, Shen Qingyue continued amidst their anticipation, "There will be new people joining and changes in positions. We will announce the details as soon as possible. For now, Chen Mo will be in charge of this matter."
After speaking, she looked at Chen Mo and asked, "Team Leader Chen, do you have a question?"
"no."
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I will obey the company's decision."
"it is good."
Shen Qingyue stood up: "That's all then, meeting adjourned."
After saying that, she left the meeting room first.
Everyone else got up and left, and the way they looked at Chen Mo and their attitude towards him changed from before.
There was an added layer of envy and jealousy, as well as respect.
Manager Zhang and Manager Li, on the other hand, felt even more complicated and resentful.
What does it mean that Chen Mo is in charge?
Who is he?
Why should he be in charge?
What signal is Shen Qingyue sending with this decision?
You know everything.
He's just been promoted to supervisor, and now he's going to be promoted to minister?
Just because he got close to you, Shen Qingyue?
Does that mean we can disregard the company's rules and regulations?
Can you promote whomever you want?
If that's the case, they won't accept it and will definitely escalate the situation!
The company, at least for now, is not solely under Shen Qingyue's control; it also depends on whether the other vice presidents agree!
Wang Qing was overjoyed when she heard that Chen Mo was in charge of the reorganization of the technology department.
Given my relationship with Chen Mo, he should be willing to take care of me and make some changes for me, right?
